Swami Sadashiva Brahmendra Sar (Nil)     27 December 2009

caste by karma, not by birth

There are several references in scripttures that caste was like an office or designation that was to be conferred on the basis of karma. There are examples that a person born in one caste could become other caste by his conduct. Here is one of the  references from Vishnu Puran . Interested friends may kindly clik here and listen to track 75 of the link.

Dr.Tripati Ji,

Hinduism is misunderstood by huge percentage of people and other religion people. One who understand hinduism he will know the greatness of it. In the same way caste tag used for political gains.

THanks sir,

In religion there is no caste; caste is simply a social institution.

Swami Vivekanand
